He grew up playing a lot of video games and listening to pop music.

Beginning of rap career (Late 2020)
Mushii began his rap career in late 2020 recording over YouTube beats with BlueBoi, a fellow rapper Mushii had become friends with. In Early 2021, Mushii would release a couple of solo singles on SoundCloud, titled "Fast" and "Inspirational" however they were eventually deleted because he thought the songs weren't good enough. Mushii would release his first projects as well but they were deleted and Mushii no longer counts them as part of his discography.

PepeJammers era (2021 - Early 2022)
During 2021 - April 2022, his formed his group PepeJammers, going on to make a lot of meme-rap albums. The group consisted of Mushii and BlueBoi. It was also Mushii's introduction to producing music, albeit a lot of the PepeJammers songs used free beats. In November 2021, PepeJammers got onto streaming platforms as Mushii bought DistroKid's lowest tier for a year as he believed that PepeJammers had the potential to blow up.

In March, a PepeJammers song named "Ben" was released onto streaming platforms. While it was credited as a PepeJammers song, it was more of a solo Mushii song as it was just Mushii on the track. It was first previewed on Mushii's Twitch livestreams, a few weeks before release. The song would prove to be a massive hit, gaining over 20,000 streams by the end of 2022. As his success grew, Mushii knew that it was time to begin producing and making more music than over.

The PepeJammers would release three projects in this time period (November 2021 - April 2022), the "Pepejammers" compilation EP, the "Pepe City!" EP, and the "The Life Of Pepe 2" mixtape.

"BEN" ended up releasing on The Life Of Pepe 2 and received a music video along with fellow track "Tractor".

Solo Beginnings, "Monda" & "Whole Lotta Melons" (July - August 2022)
When Mushii first set out to pursue solo music as a real career, he spent a couple of months in the spring crafting what is now known as "Monda". In the beginning, a lot of the tracks from Monda were originally going to be included on the rumoured "Pepe Planet" mixtape set to be released in 2022 by the PepeJammers.

His debut mixtape "Monda" was made in a matter of a few weeks, and at one point Mushii scrapped the project. But despite troubled production, it eventually released on July 20, 2022 to low success, however the albums biggest single and remix of hit song "Rocking A Cardigan In Atlanta" By Lil Shordie Scott "I Wanna Take A Shit Inside Of Walmart" ended up becoming a sleeper hit in late October 2022

Mushii would go on to release his second mixtape "Whole Lotta Melons" on August 28th 2022. This would feature fellow meme rappers BlueBoi, Yung Brit Boi and McMoanin. Mushii would hype this album up more than ever during August, with hit singles like Purple and L Bozo (Ft. Yung Brit Boi) becoming instant hits. Unfortunately, nowadays Mushii looks back at this project as bloated, however still having some highlights.

"Mushii Made This" Swag Gang Records "MELON MODE" & Flex Entertainment signing (September - December 2022)
Following the success of "Whole Lotta Melons", Mushii almost immediately began work on a EP to drop during late 2022. Unnamed at the time, some songs were already being created in September 2022 such as "Direct Relay" and "Zu Viel Drip". In October 2022, a meme would be skyrocketed to popularity, that being the song "Poland" by Lil Yachty. Mushii took the opportunity when the song was not on streaming yet to make a meme rap cover. Hours after Mushii's cover released, the official song put onto streaming platforms. The song could have much more successful but nonetheless it did amass 1,000 streams in under a month. At this point, the EP would convert into a mixtape with 8 tracks, featuring Milk Man, Yung Brit Boi, Kenny Mgee and McMoanin. It then be named "Mushii Made This". The mixtape would release on Oct 31st, 2022 to high praise.

In November 2022, Mushii was contacted by meme rapper Yung T and was subsequently signed to T's infamous label Swag Gang Records. It collapsed just a mere week later after a failed merge with Flex Entertainment leading Mushii to leave. Though in his time there, Mushii had made friends with artists Nero, Yung T, TopHat & Yung Slayer, artists who he would later collaborate with many times. After this occurred, Mushii began trying to join Flex Entertainment, as his alter-ego Yung Cheese Slice was already signed to it, yet he was making more Mushii music. He got eventually was signed late November 2022. Mushii continued to collaborate with Yung T, and they both decided to speedrun a project, an EP that they would drop for fun. "MELON MODE" spanned 4 tracks all created in one day using free YouTube beats, a throwback to the Pepejammers days. The EP was mostly received positively with Mushii and T teasing a second installment. It also marked Mushii's first inclusions of the Flex Top 100 with the songs "Melon Flex" and "TRAPPIN" with "TRAPPIN" being called one of Mushii's best songs despite the terrible mixing.

In December 2022, Mushii would drop a remix to his hit song Bri'ish with an added Milk Man feature. He would also release music videos for "Duran Duran", "Bri'ish" "I Took The Wock To Poland" and "Got A Cold", four popular songs from Mushii Made This.

FLEXIN WIT DA SHROOMS, IIHSUM, Monda 2 and Untitled Mixtape
"FLEXIN WIT DA SHROOMS" was a collaborative EP between Mushii and Flexuga. The project was not Mushii and Flexuga's first time collaborating, as they had both collaborated previously on Flexuga's hit song "M.U.L.E" a couple weeks before the announcement. The 3 track long EP was released on January 3, 2023 to high praise. Track 2 from the EP "EXTINCTION" became the single and a music video was released the same day of the EP's release.

After this, Mushii announced his (at the time) 4th Mixtape "IIHSUM" set to release in February 2023. Mushii first announced the project in November 2022, where he stated "the next project is now in the making". On November 23rd, a snippet for a song titled "Northern Lights" was uploaded to Twitter and Discord. The song was later scrapped and given to Yung T. On December 30th, Mushii announced on Discord that it was expected to release in February 2023. Furthermore, on January 28th 2023 the coverart and release date was announced for the mixtape. But soon, the tides turned with Mushii changing it into an EP. Around this time, Mushii was also teasing a sequel to "Monda" named "Monda 2" but it was swiftly cancelled.

On February 5, 2023, Mushii announced the lead single for IIHSUM "CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE". It will release on February 10, 2023 - exactly one month before the EP's release.
